About:
Samba is an software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. It is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.

Release focus: Minor security fixes

The Samba 3.0.21 release series (including the patch releases a through c) has been discovered to expose the clear text of the server's machine account credentials in the winbind log files when the log level is set to 5 or higher. This defect has been assigned the CVE number CAN-2006-1059.

[»] Samba RPM Packages
by Marius Gedminas - Jan 20th 1999 11:47:18

The location of RedHat packages above is incorrect (/pub/samba/ does not exist on samba.anu.edu.au). So far I was unable to find Samba 2.0.0 binary RPM package (and there is not enough free disk space on my home box to compile it). It'd be very nice if someone provided a working URL.
